The Scottish actor, the iconic and most renowned James Bond, was adored by females and admired by males. He illustrated to the globe how to live a fashionable and thrilling life. Connery’s seven Bond movies were a great triumph, and the character he created was picked by the American Film Institute as the third most grandiose film hero.

In 2000, the British Queen Elizabeth II honored him with knighthood, however two years before that, he supposedly was denied a knighthood due to his ardent Scottish patriotism.

In 2006, he formally declared his retirement after accepting a lifetime achievement award from the American Film Institute.
